DESCRIPTION

At the crossroads of Europe, Alsace is perfectly suited to motorcycle travel. The journey begins on the Route des Crêtes in the Vosges, between mountain passes, open panoramas, and deep forests, with the crossing of the Col de la Schlucht up to the Grand Ballon, the highest point of the massif. An ideal warm-up before the rest of the trip.

The route then heads toward the Black Forest, a true paradise for motorcyclists: winding roads, sparkling lakes, and typical villages. The famous B500 – the Schwarzwaldhochstraße – offers one of the most beautiful routes in Germany, a succession of panoramic curves to enjoy.

The itinerary continues toward Koblenz, at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle, before following the Moselle Valley between terraced vineyards, hilltop castles, and flowing curves along the river.

The return to Alsace is via the Wine Route, with its villages of half-timbered houses, welcoming cellars, and emblematic wines.

An itinerary designed for those who enjoy riding at the pace of the landscapes: mountains, forests, valleys, and legendary roads. A fine motorcycle touring experience, rich in atmosphere and riding pleasure.
